Rip Charters (Sorrento)

Hook up and unwind with Rip Charters... Departing from the picturesque bayside town of Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula or the historic fishing Port of Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula. Specialising in Ocean & Bay Fishing Charters, Rip Charters was established in 1986 and is the longest running fishing charter business in Victoria. We have three boats in our fleet so have many options fishing in either Port Phillip Heads or out in Bass Strait. Our main aim at Rip Charters is to offer our customers the opportunity to catch a feed of fish but to learn some fishing skills.

Or if it's the big ones you're after, our ocean swells are home to sharks such as Mako, Blue Whaler and Threshers. Whiting, Squid and various other reef fish are common amongst our catch, there is also that special time of year when the King Fish arrive, certainly a prized catch, in general the variety will astound you.

Our boats, Rip Runner, Big Blue and Kestrel III are specially furbished for your comfort and safety. They are designed and rigged for fishing and fully covered for all weather conditions to ensure your fishing experience is uninterrupted by sun or rain. We carry all the necessary fish finding, navigational, communication and safety equipment. All you need to bring along is some food and drink, appropriate clothing, an eski (for your catch), sunblock and your fishing license.

Charters operate from Sorrento Pier, The Esplanade, Sorrento, Victoria or pick up can be made from Queenscliff Marina upon arrangement. Trips can be organised from 4 to 10 hrs (standard charter is 5 hours) with the added bonus of catering packages for those special social events.
